Why movie was liked? - humor - that it didn’t have a happy ending - never knew who was going to die next - very suspenseful - how the camera follows Theo and the other characters - very realistic (blood on the camera) - how gritty it was First Scene - Very disorienting - Women carrying arm after explosion (much like saving private ryan) - Everyone in the very first picture is watching, focused, sad, depressed, - No one who is very young - A lot of animals in the movie (pets) - Future- very rundown city References compared - The Queen (The boy with the flowers) - Schindler’s List (stuff being thrown out of windows) More About movie - a movie you have to pay attention to o talking about the photojournalist being tortured Car Scene - They plan to kill Jillian - Luke (The Driver) slows down so the car that’s on fire can come down the hill
Class Notes 9/13 (recorded by Maddie Stephens):
Children of Men Not word of the day: buoy
How did people react to baby’s death?
Reminder of everyone’s fait
Scared for the other young people left
-Why do people grieve for people’s death that they don’t know?
Role models
Relate to them
Died young- reminds us how we could die at any moment
-People don’t like to think about death a lot
-9/11
-Shooting
People want to connect themselves to important things
Rick/Theo
Comparison
Don’t have many people that they’re close to
Dethatched attitudes, cenacle
Tries to cut out bad things
Also cut out joy and happiness
South Park reference
Had woman ask them to do something that was hard for them to do
Violence
See the process of dying
Don’t try to make things look real, ends up looking more real
One shot scenes
Not very dramatic killing scenes, it is what it is
Consequences to the violence
In real life, people are surprised that getting shot hurts
